Can someone explain to me please what it means build approval for a block of lans is 140% is that approval for a 4 story building?

build coverage is the area you can build
build approval is the volume you can build

thank you

Andrew,

you need to understand the question you are asking. Build approval may refer to a building permit (as opposed to a planning permit)

Land has build characteristics, covered area and build area.

usually the covered area is a higher percentage than the covered area. By way of example, a field of 1000m2 having covered area 50% and build area 90% would mean, you can only build on 500m2(50% of the land), but can have 900m2 (90%) of covered area, this would inly you have to build upwards.

Unless you are in a city near the centre, you will only be able to build up to 2 floors, and this does not include the covered parking.

For land of 140% build area, I suspect the covered area will likely be 70% covered. 4 Floors, NO chance unless as stated above.

Hope this helps.

The build and covered areas are not all and end all of getting permission, there are other factors you need to satisfy.

Good luck.
